History of Maxwell Street Legal Clinic
The Maxwell Street Legal Clinic was first conceived by a young Presbyterian seminary student and a devout Roman Catholic priest, both of whom were involved with the immigrant community in central Kentucky and both of whom were fluent in Spanish. From their recognition of a pervasive need,came a series of focused meetings about how poor people, who are new to this country, get the legal assistance they need. Existing legal service agencies receive federal funding, which severely restricts the kind of people they may serve and the kind of cases they may accept. As a result, on October 3, 1999, the Maxwell Street Legal Clinic opened its doors with a host of volunteer attorneys and translators.
In its first seven years, Maxwell Street Legal Clinic has served more than 2400 clients with more than 3400 legal matters. OurOur clients come more than 80100 different countries, of Lexington. In 2009, MSLC received the Liberation Award from the Kentucky Rescue & Restore coalition for its work providing legal assistance to victims of human trafficking.
